The few studies that look into slender body wakes assume that the body moves in an unstratified environment, where the density of the surrounding fluid is constant. However, in a realistic underwater marine environment the effect of density stratification due to salinity and temperature can become relevant. Density stratification suppresses vertical motions, triggers the formation and sustenance of coherent structures, and leads to the radiation of internal gravity waves. More importantly, in a stratified environment, the wake of a submersible lives longer than in an unstratified environment, i.e., it takes more time for the flow disturbance to die out [1]}. The study of stratified wakes has been nearly exclusively focused on the flow past bluff bodies [2]}, [3]}, [4]}, [5]}, [6]}, [7]} and underwater topography [8]}, [9]}, [10]}. Here, we study the influence of stratification on the high-\(\)  wake of a prolate spheroid with a turbulent boundary layer.
